00ReplyBased on the policy, one can take 20kg luggage and the size of each pieces should be within 130cm (length+height+width). It seems the size should be fine but I am not sure about the weight. If not too much more than 20kg, it should be still OK. If it is too much, you may consider to use the expressage service instead. There is expressage service near the ticket office.

00ReplyThe ticket availability is a little hard to predict since it cannot be checked online. But recently the high speed rides become available, so the availability should be fine. You can try to buy it at station. But it would be better to prepare a back up option in case the ticket sold out. Like the high speed ride or a transfer via Shenzhen.

00ReplyTo take this bullet ride, you will go through the immigration check at West Kowloon Station before boarding, not after your arrival. The West Station do not support visa on arrival, you need to apply visa in advance.
